That's it. If Disney doesn't have the backbone to sue to protect their IP, I am NOT going to be seeing "The Mandalorian and Grogu". I mean who knows what unspeakable things he will force that poor child to do?

This popped up on my feed on another site, @frankconniff.bsky.social . This should at least elicit a laugh from you, sir.

Trump Has Carried Out More Military Strikes In One Year Than Biden Did In 4 Years

But of course. This is just one more way to privatize the gains and socialize the losses.

This is probably a lot closer to the truth than we care to admit.

There are a few things that contribute less value to our world than Polymarket. #ParasiticOpportunism.

"Years ago, we tore up a nuclear peace deal w/Iran. Months ago, we bombed Iran & "obliterated" their nuke capabilities. And now, we might just have to go to war with Iran bc of their nuke capabilities." -the ppl who tore up the nuclear peace deal w/Iran

So in 1991 a Republican president led us to war in the Middle East. In 2003, the next Republican president led us to war in the Middle East. Today, the next Republican president is trying to lead the U.S. into war in the Middle East. I say trying because war has not yet been declared by Congress.

This should send a chill down your spine. It looks like war is inevitable.

Huh. Imagine that. thelogicofscience.com/2025/02/27/m...

Gotta love the professionalism of this administration. This from the United States Department of Agriculture website:

I looked it up and this graphic does not do justice for just how massive this proposed ballroom will be. The White House is 55k sq ft across SIX floors. This ballroom will be 90k sq ft on a SINGLE floor. The ballroom will have a footprint that is literally TEN TIMES LARGER than the White House.

Instead of a public retraction, the Wall Street Journal quietly adjusted its headline. Neither Emma Tucker, the editor-in-chief, nor the two reporters who wrote the original piece responded to my requests for comment. www.advocate.com/news/wall-st...

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

“Job Garcia, a doctoral student, was picking up an order at Home Depot. He texted his brother Elias Garcia: ‘Hey Elias me agarro ICE,’ it read. ICE got me. “Elias has not been able to talk to his brother to find out why he was arrested. “Job is a U.S. citizen.” www.latimes.com/california/s...

Garcia said he was shaken by what he heard while he was detained. “They call them ‘bodies,’ they reduce them to bodies,” he said. “My blood was boiling.”

Let’s be clear: Congress has a constitutional duty to conduct oversight. If there’s nothing to hide, why are they hiding it? Something is very wrong here.

Not for nothing but if Biden had done this it would be a 2 week story.

Twenty years ago the Republican party stood for huge tax cuts for the rich and wars of choice in the middle east, but then Donald Trump totally remade the party and realigned American poltiics, and now the Republica party stands for...huge tax cuts for the rich and wars of choice in the middle east.

The American gestapo.

The man who shot Democrats in Minn planned to kill ONLY Democrats, was a registered Republican, viewed "abortion as murder," had attended Trump rallies and voted for Trump. Corporate media should call him what he is: MAGA terrorist. My article deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/there-were...

Happy "No Kings* Weekend", folks! *Offer does not stand in the U.K. and their dominions where the royalty maintains a sense of noblesse oblige.

Kristi Noem has that rare ability to shoot her dog in the face and it *still* not be the worst thing she ever did in her sorry, lying life.

Think of ICE as one of those crooked Florida police departments in small towns that pulls over *thousands* of drivers on I-95 for *any* reason to meet quotas for tickets. Stephen Miller has given ICE quotas for arrests and they will meet those quotas whether the arrestees deserve it or not.

“ICE” as snatching people from churches now. Never forget they said this👇🏾 MAN AT CHURCH: “We don’t want this in our property.” ICE: “The whole country is our property.” No IDs shown, non-government out of state plates, basic tactical vests that just say police. Who are these men?

Incompetent Fox chatterbox Pete Hegseth has confirmed that the illegal deployment of the National Guard to LA will cost US taxpayers $134 million. *That* is waste, fraud, and abuse.

Trump quoted Hitler and said he'd unleash the National Guard against the "enemy from within" before the election. Here we are folks.

Hard not to notice that ICE isn't breaking up drug rings or gangs (because we would ABSOLUTELY hear about it if they were), but instead are dressing up like bank robbers and doing the laziest shit possible, like hanging out at immigration court or grabbing people for busted taillights. Worthless

I say that they should scrap "Hail to the Chief" for He Who Should Not Be Named and instead play this for him. youtu.be/0WTrMuZOZvM?...

🚨 This good neighbor caught shady “agents” in Highland, IL claiming to do wellness checks—each wearing mismatched vests labeled FBI/ICE/ERO/police. Since when do they roll up together like that? Vigilante brown shirts are testing boundaries. Stay safe. Know your rights. #OnYourSide

I'm sure that my Canuck friends can easily verify.

Please help Simon Moya-Smith's sister, if you can?

I found this and I figured that a number of my friends here would appreciate it.

A group of Musk staffers attempted to take control of California’s water pumps during the devastating wildfires. Inspired by Trump, the mission involved direct pressure on federal officials and even a failed attempt to activate the pumps themselves.

I wonder if Big Balls and his boss Numb Nuts know that the one of the largest supervolcanic systems on the planet lies beneath the northwest corner of Wyoming and someday will explode with the force of over a million Hiroshima fission bombs and that maybe volcanos are worth studying?

Federal marshals forced entry into the US African Development Foundation and escorted Musk staffers inside, after agency employees resisted their entry. Once inside, they changed the federal agency’s locks. Musk staffers were seen plugging in an external hard drive and going through everything.

Another SpaceX oopsy seems like a good occasion to share this @propublica.org piece from a few weeks back

Season 2 of “The President Trump Show” is a mess. Even worse than Season 1. The writers are increasingly resorting to cheap stunts to get the audience's attention, with no regard to plausibility. A real president would never be this stupid, petty, or irresponsible.
